โฆ Synopsis
A new kinetic method is described for the assay of quinone-reducing enzymes in various biological materials. It is based on polarographic determination of oxygen uptake in spontaneous oxidation of the diphenol formed as a result of 4-anilino-5-methoxybenzoquinone-1 ,2 (AMOBQ) enzymic reduction. The stoichiometry of the reducing equivalent transfer in the reaction sequence from NAD(P)H to oxygen has been analyzed. Data are presented on quinone-reducing activity distributions in different tissues.

Two techniques for determining enzyme kinetic constants using isothermal titration microcalorimetry are presented. The methods are based on the proportionality between the rate of a reaction and the thermal power (heat/time) generated. (i) An enzyme can be titrated with increasing amounts of substra
